Abstract

[For the English abstract and full text of the article please see the attached PDF-File (English version follows Russian version)].ABSTRACT The business needs innovative products, but it doubts the competitiveness of scientific organizations (including university-level industry organizations). The analysis of the contradictions of the interests of science and business in modern Russian conditions is carried out. The shortcomings of scientific organizations (research institutes and universities) are revealed in terms of conformity of their efforts with the conjuncture of innovative inquiries. The key factors that limit the interaction of science and business in carrying out research and development work are identified. An alternative model of cooperation between scientific organizations and business transport enterprises is proposed, based on the expansion of communications and the organization of technological brokerage, taking into account the mutual interests of both sides. Keywords: university and academic science, business, transport, research, competitiveness, technological brokerage, innovative infrastructure, cooperation, partnership.
